Hmm... I guess we can do that but, honestly, the docs in the function
should be pretty straight. Maybe saying that it's supposed to work as
iio_device_claim_direct_mode() would help (as that one is familiar)...

Alternatively, having sparse annotations could also make it more easy
to understand the intent.
